Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months.
The process took 4 months from first intro call with a recruiter to rejection email after 5 rounds of interviews. Very long wait time between stages. Rejection happened only after last stage with boilerplate “we decided not to move forward”. Communication in English can be tough at times.
Systems design interview harder than expected, they focus a lot on hardware.
- Coding tasks: LeetCode medium
- DevOps interview: live k8s debugging
Questions
Design runtime environment for an app serving 1M rps, no cloud services allowed, focus on low level stuff

Nebius Work Experiences
- 5.0I do love work hereSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeMunich, BavariaJanuary 14, 2025Pros: The team is powerful from the engineering side; they gathered people who managed to pass five interview stages, so everyone is brilliant and ready to deliver anything; in the Slack channel, there are no people who do not understand technical problems and questions; even managers came from development. Also, the exciting part is how we find a task to do - we discuss problems/goals and priorities inside the team, and you can select or push any solution you want; you just need to communicate well.Cons: From time to time, it is hard to understand what the current goals for the team; a lot of team members focus on delivering in a more complex way to get benefits at the end of the quarter (an easy-to-do solution is more challenging to sell). I still don't know how to get a promotion, but I suppose it is much more complicated than passing the interview better than I did.
